Water Main Break

There was a water main break early this morning in Okanagan Centre, near Davidson and Camp Roads. Crews are working and will hopefully have water service restored by this afternoon.

A Water Service Interruption due to a water main break and Boil Water Notice have been issued for users in the vicinity of Okanagan Centre area. Effected customers include users west of Camp Road and Davidson Road intersection to Okanagan Lake.

The District of Lake Country in conjunction with Interior Health has issued a BOIL WATER NOTICE for these customers. Service is expected to be resumed by late afternoon. However, the Boil Water Notice will remain in effect until water is deemed safe and a Boil Water Rescind Notice is issued.

The District of Lake Country and Interior Health recommend that ALL customers in the affected area drink boiled water or a safe alternative. Water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. Boiled water should then be refrigerated in a clean, covered container. Customers could also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water that has been filtered through a well-maintained treatment device.

In accordance with Interior Health requirements, owners of all public facilities must post “Boil Water Notices” at all sinks or drinking water fountains accessible to the public. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this time.
